The S 1000 XR Eats Miles. Make Sure Your Tank Can Take It.

The BMW S 1000 XR is built for riders who want sport performance and long-distance capability in the same machine. Every kilometer puts contact pressure on the tank — knees in corners, gear on straights, belt buckles on every stop. This 6D carbon tank pad set is precision-cut for the S 1000 XR (2023), matching the tank geometry exactly and covering the contact zones that matter most. Better grip, better protection, better ride.

Why 6D Carbon — Not 3D, Not 5D

Grippatch uses genuine 6D carbon foil — a multi-layer structured foil with an additional lens layer that creates real depth, mirror-like gloss, and a finish that holds its look for years. No yellowing. No peeling. Backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty.

3M MP 468 — The Adhesive That Doesn’t Quit

Industrial-grade 3M MP 468 adhesive holds through heat, vibration, rain, and fuel exposure. Removes cleanly without leaving residue or damaging your paint.

Non-Slip Gel Surface — Grip in Every Condition

The non-slip surface keeps your legs anchored to the tank through corners and under hard braking — even in rain and sweat. Less sliding means less fatigue on long rides and more confidence when you push the pace. The center pad prevents forward sliding under braking. The side pads lock your legs in during cornering.

Application Instructions

1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is completely clean and dry before application. Any oil, dust, or dirt residue may reduce adhesion performance. If necessary, clean with isopropyl alcohol or a suitable cleaner and allow to dry fully.
2. Positioning: Before peeling the backing, position each piece on the surface to confirm correct size and orientation. Incorrect positioning may extend adjustment time or risk damage to the pad.
3. Application: Peel off the protective backing gradually and press each piece onto the surface section by section. This ensures even and consistent adhesion across the entire pad.
4. Air Bubble Removal: Apply firm pressure from the center outward to secure each piece to the surface. This technique prevents air bubbles from forming and ensures long-lasting adhesion.
